openSUSE

Welcome to the monthly update for openSUSE Tumbleweed for April 2024. This month began after addressing last month’s supply chain attack against xz compression library for the rolling release. An explanation of that XZ Backdoor, how it was address and what was learned can be found on news.opensuse.org....

Looks like Leap 15.6 will ship with Cockpit, which looks pretty cool....

Slowroll just bumped its Tumbleweed snapshot version a few hours ago....

So, I updated Tumbleweed, and the updates to KDE caused my Plasma/Wayland session to restart, breaking the updates part way through. I wasn't watching at the time so took some while to debug!...

Any idea when this will hit tumbleweed? I'm really looking forward to this release!

It's a bit quiet here so for now I'll start linking the latest openSUSE news here.

Hey, I’ve gone ahead and decided to try out TW as my first foray into the Linux world, and I started by getting it set up on my laptop. Everything seems to be working pretty well for me (other than wifi passwords not saving by default, but I seem to have found a workaround that’s not too inconvenient)....

From what i have read, the winning logos are not guaranteed to be chosen, so we will have to wait for an official announcement. I think there is a meeting today, so I would keep an eye on the official wiki and news pages. On the meeting on tuesday (12.12), the competition results have been discussed but I don’t know what’s...

The deadline has passed, but I’m not sure if all entries have been added to the wiki yet.

Slowroll repos have been moved to a new location....

I’m coming for a *deb/*buntu world and I would find useful if I have a cheat sheet for Tumbleweed with the most basic commands and especially if there is something that correlates them with commands I’m already familiar....

Hi, I have created a fork of the Greybeard project called “Moldavite” (meteorite induced explosion near Nürnberg caused a lot of gems falling on the ground in Bohemia, if it is not a symbol of the cooperation inside of SUSE, then I don’t know what would be ;)). The main project site is sr.ht/~mcepl/moldavite/ and OBS...

Because my NAS isn’t used while I’m at work, I set up a systemd service that reliably suspends the OS to memory at the same time every day (excluding weekends), and uses rtcwake to then wake it up again just before I typically get home from work. I also have an alias set up on my laptop to send a magic packet to the NAS in...

Hi everybody, I recently installed OpenSuse Leap, but I have trouble working with firewalld. The goal is to accept incoming ssh and vnc connections from two IPs exclusively, but it just does’nt work. I removed all interfaces from zone public, set the internal zone up so that it has only the two IPs as sources and only the ssh...

Hi everybody....

On their web site it mentions that the live usb stick is not for testing your hardware's compatibility...

I really like the way the steam deck is set up with a read only root and flatpacks for user installed software....

Getting us started! :)...
